President Obama, Hillary Clinton, Sen. Bernie Sanders, Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid and other Democrats need to intervene to stop the unrest unfolding from Los Angeles to Manhattan, according to Team Trump.

“The president of the United States, Secretary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, perhaps, others can come forward and ask for calm and ask for a peaceful transition and ask their supporters, which are masquerading as protesters now — many of them professional and paid by the way, I’m sure — ask them to give this man a chance so that this country can flourish,” campaign manager Kellyanne Conway told Fox News Sunday.

Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani said protesters have targeted him and were “banging on my car.”

“I‘m not sure these are even Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama supporters. I think these people are, you know, kind of like professional protesters more,” Giuliani told ABC’s “This Week.”

Conway specifically singled out Reid for inciting unrest by saying Friday the responsibility of healing the country belongs with Trump – “a sexual predator who lost the popular vote and fueled his campaign with bigotry and hate.”

Conway said she’s be subjected to “booing” and “spitting” as she heads to work at Trump Tower – and she blames Reid for his “beyond the pale” comments.

“I would put at his feet the fact that a lot of these protesters, I walked right into the firestorm yesterday getting into Trump Tower,” Conway said. “A lot of these protesters are not there peacefully, are not there because they just want to express themselves and make a point or make the difference. They are there for nefarious conditions, they’re booing us, spitting on us. They’re causing all kinds of havoc.”

Obama, Clinton and Sanders have all expressed a desire to work with Trump on a peaceful transition of power but have not condemned the protesters.
New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker and Minnesota Rep. Keith Ellison – an early favorite for Democratic National Committee chairman – said it’s the priority of Democrats to exercise their First Amendment rights.

Booker cautioned protesters against “turning to hateful speech, violating principles and ideals that are sacred in this country,” Booker said. “We need to raise our voices, but we do not need to indulge in hate.”

Ellison called on the protests to “remain peaceful” but urged to them stand strong in the face of “misogyny” and racial divisions.

“These folks are telling Donald Trump that if he tries to move out on his plan to have a deportation squad, to harm Americans, and if he … tries to do that, we’re going to be there to stand and say no,” Ellison told ABC’s “This Week.”
